Hoping to see Rooney and Adnan coming in for neither van Persie nor Mata.
This. It is like having a racing car with flat tyres, potentially brilliant but thats all it is until you pump them up.
We may as well. Giggs is not really playing a proper midfielder role
How they keep starting games is beyond me.
Also we look to be playing so much narrower today relying on Rafael and Evra to give us width and we still stick with Young and Valencia for that?!
In theory a nice idea, the question is would Rooney be happy with that?
They probably aren't expecting such an idea from him. "Attack through the centre, you say, what is that?"
Might bring those Everton fans down to earth a bit.
Excellent performance from RVP over the 45 minutes.
Everton rolling over per normal....to their neighbors...
What will it take to make Giggs retire in the summer? He's just a complete passenger in midfield.
You can see this as well? Feels like one of those jammy 88th minute equalizer games. We need a second goal.
Pool 2 up. feck
Im sorry but you must be mistaken.
I don't like how narrowly we're defending.
Decent enough first half, would of liked to see more goals.
Mats first game , RVP first game for 11.
Gave Cardiff to much possession and they should of had one goal.
Better football then of late.

You forget how good van Persie is. Young's done well. But another forgettable half really.
Btw- Sturridge again. Good lob. 3-0
3-0 Liverpool. Genius this Martinez.
Was Valencia even playing?
Wow Everton.
another scandal....
Valencia is playing so narrow, what's the point in him being out there? Put in Adnan or Shinji. Someone for Mata to link up with.
Anyone got a stream pretty please?
I'm as well sorry but I think that there are words coming out of end of your back.
Suarez with a theatrical dive, and then Sturridge makes it 3-0
Cock up from Howard, Sturridge again. 3-0 Liverpool. So Martinez isn't the messiah.
Actually I'd say most of it is tactical. Our line of defence is so deep, which makes a huge gap between the defenders and midfielders, leaving the attackers isolated. There's no pressing at all from us. Those 2 issues have probably been our biggest problem this season. Push the defenders up 10 yards and we'd have better pressing as a team, we wouldn't have to watch Evans and smalling sit on the ball all the time and Cardiff would have less space to pass it around like they have.
Everton shocking 
3:0
Im betting now RVP doesnt come out for second half
It's been a bit meh and as weird as it seems, Mata despite being rusty hasn't touched the ball enough for my liking. I don't understand why we're dominating Cardiff a lot more clearly in terms of chances created and of possession too.
Im out of the country - can someone tell me how we are set up? 4-5-1 with Mata CAM?
We're so poor when we don't have the ball, we do this shitty half press half drop off bollocks.
fecking Everton 
I hope you feel dirty after saying that.
They are running the Everton defence ragged to be fair.
Everton are back.
Stuck with moyes eh? Moyes never went there and dropped his pants like this. Embarrassing stuff from Everton.
Mata is very tidy.
Isn't it about time Bellamy grew a neck?
Isn't it about time Bellamy grew a neck?
It's like they've told the team to only play down the left because Valencia offers feck all other than to be a target for crosses.
